Parents Weekend    by Alex Finlay Order:  USA  Can Minotaur, 2025 (2025) Hardcover, e-Book     Reviewed by Hilary Williamson Alex Finlay writes excellent and varied mysteries and here's another gripping one, Parents Weekend. I enjoyed it and was glad to see more here of FBI Special Agent Sarah Keller, who played key roles in Every Last Fear and The Night Shift. The setting is Santa Clara University in Northern California, where five families show up to celebrate the end of their offsprings' first year of college with them. The parents get together for cocktails and dinner - but the students are no shows. As time passes search parties head out, rumors abound, journalists write stories, and Sarah Keller investigates. Since the Prologue showed the teens on the run for danger, readers are on the edges of their seats. Finlay introduces the parents, with all their flaws. We also meet the dean and learn of another student, Natasha Belov, who's been AWOL for a week, and was already on academic probation. Then she's found dead. Readers see what trouble the missing students are in and wonder why they were targeted. Is it for their own sins or those of their parents - and what ever happened to Nastasha?
